when she said dad, daddy we are world champs i cried today just as i did they day coaxh got his superbowl win,and he deserved it, and it was amazingly beautiful to watch..
Lots of things about Bill Cowher were revealed. His, has been a very unique, and good life. Beautiful family, got to coach in his hometown, but I was unaware of his first wife passing away. That part made me realize that he, and his wife built a wonderful family that could support each other in tough times. My new favorite A Football Life episode.
Awesome, this video brought tears to my eyes. As a father to 3 beautiful daughters as well I look up to coach Cowher and how he was real down to earth Dad. I’m always there for my girls at every soccer game and giving them tips, the coaches came up to me and told me, “hey tell the girls to ease up on the pushing (they know how to use body) the other parents are getting upset but I love it” lol RIP Mrs. Cowher 🙏🏽 beautiful family
@edwardbennett7813 Incompetent? Cowher was 2 and 4 in the AFC Championship games and I liked Cowher. No need to disrespect Tomlin to uplift Cowher. We're Blessed as Steelers fans to have 3 Wonderful Coaches, of course Mr. Noll is in a class by himself.
I am probably biased, but this is a great Football Life. While, I wasn't the coach or even player. I struggled all those years as a fan. Losing to San Diego at home in the AFC championship. They had no business going and SF proved that. So many great players and finally winning it all. Luv you coach!
My favorite coach! Wish they would have shared the story about how his family was watching one Sunday he was caught on camera dropping an F Bomb. His wife shared with him when he returned home how his whole family saw it. He said that was the day he stopped his cursing on the sideline. Class Act and a GREAT Coach.
As great of a coach as he was, to see the love his wife and daughters have for him shows what type of grade A man and fsther he really is!!!! Awesome career!!!!
Best thing that has happened to Pittsburgh and the NFL! He saved Steeler football! He would have had more super bowls if Neil O’Donnell wouldn’t have THROWN Super Bowl 30… clearly he was bribed to throw two of the most errant passes in Super Bowl history And if Bill “the cheat” Bellicheck hadn’t been a disgusting blemish to the NFL! God Bless coach Cowher !
It’s genuinely interesting just how stable in that role the Steelers have been for such a long time. I imagine in current days the fan base may be a bit peeved but the team ownership is truly a disparity in sticking behind their head coaches long term and having patience even if they’re falling short of what some may be expecting. Just wild in a league of so much turnover among so many teams that in 55 seasons they’ve had 3 coaches and that Cowhers 15 seasons is the shortest of the tenures.
as a steeler fan, i love cohwer...i wish him what he wants, if that is anonymity, give it to him...he gave it for the team, now give it to him, whatever he wants, give it to him........full stop
old school coach. the complete opposite of most today. i bought a steelers hat his first year just because i liked his coaching style, though i grew up a niner fan and didnt want them to have more SB's than us, lol
Watching this for the first time after The Steelers third consecutive loss to the Colts. Maybe we need Cowher back as head coach to bring that “Standard” mentality
One of the best coaches that would trace the football world in history, I was wondering if they could make Hank Stram A Football life, Chuck Noll A Football Life, Don Shula A football life, George Halas A Football life, Bill Parcells A Football Life. #AFootballLife #NFL
@@mkhanman12345 Ok Bill Parcells has one that’s good, I was wondering will they make Big Andy A Football life and Ben Roethlisberger A Football life or Jimmy Johnson A Football life what do you think about that? #AFootballLife
@@desienfever3573 lol those were great suggestions...so good 2 were created years before you suggested it. I don't see them doing Big Ben for a few reasons, but much more deserving or interesting QBs to do..if you want Steelers, I don't recall Bradshaw having one, and he's got a career during the golden era + his broadcasting career. Given Shula's importance to the history of the league, I would love to see one, i hope it doesn't take a death for it to be made. I think Halas would be interesting, but certain eras are probably harder to do because of either a lack of film or poor film. I love Andy Reid, might wait until he retires, that makes for a fuller look. I don't think I've ever seen one I didn't enjoy. I'm not a Pats fan, but i really enjoyed Bill Bellichek's, but there are lots of great stories out there and I hope they keep up the good work. America's Game is also great, even if its a painful loss, its interesting to hear the players, coaches etc.
when he stepped away from the Steelers after 2006, I thought he would be back on the sideline after a few years particularly with Carolina but never came back
I remember when experts were calling for the Steelers to fire Cowher after the 2001 and 2004 upset losses to New England in the AFC championship. In 2005, the Steelers made everyone who wanted Cowher fired EAT THEIR WORDS!
@@TWAFI remember a college classmate I know got called out for saying Cowher should have gotten fired after the 2001 loss. To New England. He later retracted his testimony when told he was one of the highest paid head coaches and if the Steelers fired him, who would be their next head coach. Outside of Schottenheimer, there was no one else (except Dennis Green and Tony Dungy). Imagine if Cowher did get fired after one of the two losses to New England...
6-10 was the last time the Steelers had a losing record...the year eas was 2003, the coach was BILL COWHER!!!..thr Standard is still .500 or better....
I can tell that Cahher.....Cowher has lost some of his native Pittsburghese. He's pronouncing certain words more normally since living in New York. Abaht - about, arahnd- around, etc. Dahntahn - downtown
He was so much fun to watch the "Coach", was just a taste of today's game is, but without the smash mouth attitude!!", I for one miss the attitude, now it's all about %%%٪%%'s and numbers are not what its all about, and they are all making too much $$$$$$$$??", nobody's worth that much money 😢😮
i love Bill Cowher. been coaching Pitt since i was a kid in school. but, i don't get why Bill and the family.. didn't reveal the whole truth in this docu about his former wife, Kaye's cause of death. especially when he reveals it all in his autobiography. it was nothing sordid, or awful. it affects millions of Americans every year. just odd. maybe the NFL didn't want Bill to bring it up? who knows.
Yeah maybe the fact that the Steelers offensive line manhandled the Seahawks or the fact that the defense smothered your mediocre QB had something to do with it….stop crying
This is coming from a fake fan who doesn’t understand anything about football your like Skip bayless racist always running you’re mouth about shit nobody cares about and nothing you say makes sense or mean anything
This dude had 5 AFC Championship games at his home field and lost 4 of them...Jan. 15 1995, 17-13 San Diego, Jan. 11 1998, 24-21 Denver, Jan. 27 2002, 24-17 New England, Jan. 23 2005, 41-27 New England. Add to that 3 AFC Divisional losses (Buffalo 1993, New England 1997, Tennessee 2003) and a wild card loss to Kansas City in 1994. Then add in the 5 years he didn't make the playoffs and this is supposed to be a Hall of Fame coach. 🦨
One of the coaches most deserving of praise ever.
Agreed!
not even close to being a top coach. like the rock and roll hall of fame some. deserve in some dont he dont

He is a bum.
@@razorsedge7100says you 😂
One of the most underrated appreciated coaches. Hard working blue collar coaches who win or lose wore his heart on his sleeve.
He meant what he said, and said what he meant. WYSIWYG
@@TWAF After he retired Cleveland tried to get Bill Cowher to be coach but he turned it down.
He said that if he ever coached again, it wouldn't be in the AFC North & coach against the $teelers.

Yes we do 412 Steeler Nation

Yet another great "A Football Life." Master story tellers.
They really do a great job.
I was lucky enough to grow up in Western PA watching arguably 2 of the best coaches in NFL history. Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher.

You haven’t followed him very long.
@@paulprigge1209 only because I only care about my San Francisco Fourtniners

Hines Ward A Football Life would be amazing! Love this, and Coach Cowher!!! GO STEELERS!!!
I’m sure it’s coming. Has to be right?
Bill and chuck two legends they made Steeler football great couldn't wait for Sunday 👍👍👍👍
It’s been a long time. I want to feel that pride again.

Even Bill Cowher can't save The Jets.
Chiefs fan- I remember as a child watching Bill coach on tv 📺 Good ol days !
Loved Chuck Noll for his ability to coach football. Loved Bill Cowher for his ability to inspire and lead football players.
We were blessed with great coaches. RIP Coach Noll
As great of a coach as he was, to see the love his wife and daughters have for him shows what type of grade A man and fsther he really is!!!! Awesome career!!!!
Bill Cowher is by far the epitome of what the Steelers are Toughness and Grit
He fits right in doesn’t he!!!
Did they tell ya he cheated on his wife?
Never happened nice try though spreading false rumors is very common for people like you
@@razorsedge7100
We didn’t know he committed adultery
But we didn’t care
Here's your basic Pittsburgh guy: family, faith, and football. Farmily has always come first, and everybody in the 'burgh loves the Cowhers for it.
Loved Cowwwwwher as the coach. People in the Facebook comments after steelers games to this day still want Cowher to come back and coach.
I sometimes feel that way too.
I'll always remember freaking out after seeing Jerome Bettis fumble near the goal line
Was holding my breath the whole time.....thank God for Big Ben
Yes, the Immaculate Redemption…
Great man. Great leader.
The one coach I've always admired even as a life long Charger Fan..
Best thing that has happened to Pittsburgh and the NFL!
He saved Steeler football!
He would have had more super bowls if Neil O’Donnell wouldn’t have THROWN Super Bowl 30… clearly he was bribed to throw two of the most errant passes in Super Bowl history
And if Bill “the cheat” Bellicheck hadn’t been a disgusting blemish to the NFL!

And O’Donnells stupid pass against the Chargers in 94.
The refs made sure to gift wrap him Super Bowl 40.

Suddenly losing the Superbowl doesn't sting as bad, when you have a 9 year daughter calling you her hero. GREAT STUFF!
He’s definitely a hit man
old school coach. the complete opposite of most today. i bought a steelers hat his first year just because i liked his coaching style, though i grew up a niner fan and didnt want them to have more SB's than us, lol
One of the most decent human beings who has ever lived.
Marty Schottenheimer, like Bill Cowher, was also from Western Pennsylvania. Cowher was from Crafton, and Schottenheimer was from Canonsburg.
Great show
Thanks.
Really good thank you
So very welcome. I have been a Steeler fan all my life.
Cowher just didn't have the franchise QB most of his coaching years
Imagine if we would’ve drafted Marino in 83… How many more Super Bowls might we have had
My sincere condolences coach
I'm happy for him!
He deserves it… He’s a hard worker
one of the greatest, I am biased tho
A team like the LA Chargers could sure use a coach like Bill Cowher, he'd bring an intensity and focus they've never seemed to have even in San Diego
Sadly, he’s never going to coach again. It’s a shame.
Watching this for the first time after The Steelers third consecutive loss to the Colts. Maybe we need Cowher back as head coach to bring that “Standard” mentality
Yeah, Tomlin is so soft🙄dopey fans
Marty Schottenheimer has a hell of a coaching tree himself.
He has quite the resume.
🥺 I’m not crying your crying…. Shut up I got got something in my eyes
lol. I remember that!!
epic
I didn’t know his first wife died. So sad. But I’m glad he found someone to be with.

the Steelers stuck with hin after three straight non playoff seasons from 1998 to 2000 when some other organizations would have launched him
